Even though we don’t have a shopping mall in Henry County you have the opportunity to purchase those unique one of a kind gifts just around the corner by attending the 22nd Annual Holiday Bazaar on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Henry County 4H/Fairgrounds Building.

You may have noticed your home being invaded by an assortment of pests this fall, including Asian lady beetles, Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs, boxelder bugs, crickets, spiders and black soldier beetle larvae. These creatures typically visit homes that provide easy entry this time of year, often seeking refuge from changing weather.

The weather is cooler, the holiday lights are beginning to twinkle at area stores, and it is time to think about those dreaded words–holiday shopping!
No longer do those have to be words that put fear into the hearts of men (and women).
The 22nd annual Extension Holiday Bazaar, sponsored by the Henry County Homemakers Organization, will help you fill up those stockings with no problem at all.
